You people ACTUALLY have friends? Holy fuck. Fuck it, I'll share my story then:
>meet a guy on YugiOhMD steam forums, username of Silyon
>seems like a legit dude, hit it off big over MD and YGO in general try to get him to play other games, refuses to staunchly stating he doesn't care for many things, especially if it can't involve his other friends...ok lol?
>discussion of real life me to real life thee, just shooting shit, eventually get into pretty serious topics because talking about life is what it is, philosophy, how much life sucks, etc, background past. I like to know others generally
>he gets weirdly distant overtime because I am not a wallflower when it comes to politics, despite letting other people have their right to say, I have a thick skin
>proceeds to avoid me and admits his friends think I should kill myself and his shrink thinks I'm evil or something and a toxic influence because I'd even sometimes about how fucked my life can be when things go wrong, though it was mostly seeking advice and he'd do the same on rare occasion. What good is a friendship if you cant seek advice from someone?
>try to keep things cordial because it's the right thing to do
>Last conversation he ends up ghostunadding me because we literally talked about Elden Ring lore and I played devil's advocate for The Dung Eater and The Frenzied Flame ending. He got super emotional about it and all this dramatic bullshit about how it made him feel. Solidified what I figured was the truth from him.
I fucking hate liberals. I'm done trying to make friends on steam anymore. Fuck this shit.
